Secondary Education Activities
Colour your nursery Rhyme.
The group leader writes a short nursery rhyme (e.g. " London Bridge is falling down", "Hokey-Pokey", "Little Jack Horner", "Little Miss Muffet") on the board. The leader then reads the rhyme in a variety of ways, and the group repeats and imitates each time, in chorus. Sample ways of reading include: suspensefully, angrily, sadly, suspiciously, in a depressed manner, happily, like a TV newscaster, as a rock song, in a operatic voice, very softly, very loudly, rap,...etc.You can adapt the game for Primary children too.
